the next president has a duty to the country to prove that “tax immunity” is a completely made up thing that doesnt exist. they need to do this through intense prosecution to signal to future leaders what will happen if they try this
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 2d agoFLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.
This stolen money needs to be returned to blue states by the next administration with interest.
Murshed Zaheed@murshedz.bsky.social · 7d ago“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
So Tales of the Black Freighter from The Watchmen is about Ulysses returning to Ithaca, right?
the fight/don't fight axis remains the most important fault line in democratic politics, and that the moderates have mostly failed to find any way to take the 'fight' side is why they are getting their asses handed to them in primaries right now
G Elliott Morris@gelliottmorris.com · last wk.This is why DSA candidates are really taking off now instead of eg in 2020 or 2018 www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-07-07...
this is the way out of the hole. a way. but a way is the way.
Leiracal@leiracal.bsky.social · 12mo agoThis concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.
To me cutting USAID is like, you put a quarter into a slot every day to keep millions of people alive. You don’t have to do it but it causes you no hardship. Then one day the job falls to people who are overtly white supremacist and they decide to stop doing it. It is most obviously murder
Aaron Huertas@aaronhuertas.bsky.social · 2w agoGross to see a senator skip over the part where the aid was cut off illegally and without warning. Cooking their brains on a right wing owned social media site.
It is political malpractice for Democratic senators to be helping Trump fill judicial vacancies four months before the midterms. Completely unserious people.
I Am Begging Senate Democrats to Do Anything Other Than Help Confirm Trump Judges
Four months before the 2026 midterms, three Democratic lawmakers have decided to give a historically unpopular president a little boost.

This is illegal and should result in prison terms for everyone involved.
tony romm@tonyromm.bsky.social · 2w agoNEW: In a stunning admission, the Trump administration admitted in court documents that it canceled billions in energy grants to states "based solely" on politics -- and whether that state was represented by Democrats and backed Harris in 2024. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...
I'm never going to forget Morris Katz responding to a credible misconduct allegation against Platner with "If you come at the king you best not miss"
morris katz would like to update this statement to explain that he is just a smol bean who was trying to do his best
a fun mirror of the Biden-era phenomenon where we had the fastest growing economy in the world (but it was instead reported as a painful recession)
Justin Wolfers@justinwolfers.bsky.social · 2w agoAs Trump returns to tariffs, it's worth checking out what we've gotten from the trade war so far.
Republican Patriotism
Shipwreck@shipwreck75.bsky.social · 2w agoFFS 🤦♂️ The Pentagon removed the names of 4 servicemembers who died in Jordan from their official list of casualties. They explain that this is because "their deaths occurred after President Trump declared a cease-fire in the war in April." www.nytimes.com/2026/07/23/u...
blue state electeds need to understand that THIS IS WHAT CONSERVATIVES ACTUALLY BELIEVE take them seriously and start taking your own control over armed agents of the state seriously.

We need a child's bill of rights. Parents don't own children and should not be allowed to withhold evidence-based medical care from them just because the parents are idiots and/or suffering from religious psychosis.
Sir you should definitely debate Ossoff in front of a national TV audience. Two hours, no breaks. You would totally win that one
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 2w agoTrump says Jon Ossoff is terrible and reminds him of “Pinky Herman” “Did you ever see Pinky Herman?”
As unpopular as the Iran war is, the coverage still doesn't do justice to the fact that they just could have not done any of this. There was literally no reason beyond general bloodthirstiness and incompetence.
If there's one thing Trump has usefully revealed it's that the gatekeepers in the media who supposedly had so much reverence for Support The Troops and Dead Soldiers etc when those things were being deployed to hurt Democrats were just liars and never cared about this even a little.
Ivan the K ™@ivanthek.bsky.social · 2w agoI would never presume to know how a Gold Star family feels or what they should say. However if I were in one today, I'd be absolutely ripshit with Trump.
When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”
John Carl Baker@johncarlbaker.bsky.social · 9mo agoIt’s very telling that opening your publication to MAGA “thought” requires a massive downgrade in quality control.
and also, isn't white supremacy such a profound intellectual error that you should immediately question the basic capacities of anyone who indulges it?
not feeling like doing the thing is not a bad feeling about doing the thing. because you are not doing the thing
Alright read the actual post. Astonishing ignorance of the most basic facts of this issue by the politico reporters. A quick look at their bios shows neither reporter has any background in voter rights, election security or voter suppression coverage. A wild embarrassment.
Politico@politico.com · 3w agoDHS says it found thousands of non-citizens on voter rolls in four states
"Oh, so it's illegal to own a home now? Is that what the libs are saying?"
